Converting BLOB (docxtemplater) to PDF - REACT - reactjs

Question

Hello everyone I am developing a website using React.js and Node.js where I generate a word document from the user's input and thats worked just fine with docxtemplater!
The problem is I want to let the user download the word document direclty as a PDF document but docxtemplater just permit us to save the file as a docx.
To convert the docx, i have the idea to save my blob document in mongodb with gridfs (already done and worked fine) and then get my blob and convert it to pdf (where i'm blocked)
Here is the part of my code for generate my docx and saving the generated word docx in mongodb (i have intentionnaly delete some things not important for this question)
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import Docxtemplater from "docxtemplater";
import PizZip from "pizzip";
import PizZipUtils from "pizzip/utils/index.js";
import { saveAs } from "file-saver";
import axios from "axios";
function loadFile(url, callback) {
PizZipUtils.getBinaryContent(url, callback);
}
export const DocxFile = ({ formData }) => {
const [file, setFile] = useState(null);
const [currentlyUploading, setCurrentlyUploading] = useState(false);
const [docxId, setDocxId] = useState(null);
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(null);
const [inputContainsFile, setInputContainsFile] = useState(false);
const [template, setTemplate] = useState();
const generateDocument = () => {
loadFile(template, function (error, content) {
if (error) {
throw error;
}
var zip = new PizZip(content);
var doc = new Docxtemplater(zip, {
paragraphLoop: true,
linebreaks: true,
});
doc.setData({
company: formData.general.companyClient,
version: formData.documentVersion,
quote: formData.general.quoteNumber,
HERE MY DATA //Working :)
});
try {
doc.render();
} catch (error) {
function replaceErrors(key, value) {
if (value instanceof Error) {
return Object.getOwnPropertyNames(value).reduce(function (
error,
key
) {
error[key] = value[key];
return error;
},
{});
}
return value;
}
if (error.properties && error.properties.errors instanceof Array) {
const errorMessages = error.properties.errors
.map(function (error) {
return error.properties.explanation;
})
.join("\n");
}
throw error;
}
var out = doc.getZip().generate({
type: "blob",
mimeType:
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
});
saveAs(
out,
`${name}.${documentVersion}.docx`
);
setFile(out);
setInputContainsFile(true);
});
};
const fileUploadHandler = () => {
const fd = new FormData();
fd.append("docx", file, file.name);
axios
.post(`api/docx/upload`, fd, {
onUploadProgress: (ProgressEvent) => {
setProgress((ProgressEvent.loaded / ProgressEvent.total) * 100);
console.log(
"upload progress",
Math.round((ProgressEvent.loaded / ProgressEvent.total) * 100)
);
},
})
.then(({ data }) => {
setDocxId(data);
setFile(null);
setInputContainsFile(false);
setCurrentlyUploading(false);
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
if (err.response.status === 400) {
const errMsg = err.response.data;
if (errMsg) {
console.log(errMsg);
}
} else {
console.log("other error", err);
setInputContainsFile(false);
setCurrentlyUploading(false);
}
});
};
const handleClick = () => {
if (inputContainsFile) {
setCurrentlyUploading(true);
fileUploadHandler();
}
};
return (
<>
<button
className="modify__button1 enregistrer generator__button"
onClick={generateDocument}
>
Generate the docx
</button>
<label htmlFor="file" onClick={handleClick}>
{file ? <>SUBMIT</> : <></>}
</label>
</>
);
};
This is what i got on mongodb after sending : MongodbBLOB
After that, i will do a get request to get my blob ( i already know how to get my blob) But then, how can i convert it to pdf (and keep the template used for my docx) ?

Answer 1

Update :
I found a package named docx-pdf which allow me to convert my docx to pdf.
But unfortunately, i've got a lot of webpack problems when i compiled (Can't resolve 'fs', 'child_process', 'path') because "webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for node.js core modules by default."
I will try to resolve this and will update this answer if i succeed to convert my docx :)
